   One of the main problems of communism, and socialism, was that due to   
   (inherent?) human flaws it was as easily perverted to a totalitarian system   
   as was capitalism, where a leading class established and enriched itself   
   again, and the human rights of the rest of the population were easily   
   violated.   
      
   We could see that for example in the Soviet Union until Gorbachov’s reforms,   
   in the German Democratic Republic (where I grew up), and we are still seeing   
   it in China.   
      
   None of this has to do with Windows 10, Linux, or physics, though.
